Building for the
open web

I'm Alex Chen — a full-stack developer with 5+ years shipping products that people actually use. I care deeply about performance, accessibility, and the tiny details that make software feel alive.

When I'm not pushing commits, you'll find me contributing to open-source, writing about web performance, or obsessing over mechanical keyboards.
